Investigations revealed that the IRGC had employed intermediaries in Australia, including organized crime networks, to carry out these attacks, demonstrating the regime's continuing reliance on proxies to pursue its hostile objectives abroad. From the 1980s onward. Iran has been implicated in multiple deadly attacks against American troops in Lebanon, killing hundreds of U.S. diplomats and military personnel, all carried out by Hezbollah under Tehran's guidance. The Iranian regime also had a role in the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US. In 2018, a U.S. federal court ruling determined that Iran provided material support to Al-Qaeda in the period leading up to and following the 9/11 attacks,

We know what they are. We know what they are trying to do. We stopped them from getting a nuke. We know their aim is a world caliphate, with America as their jewel in their crown. And what are WE doing other than blowing up their nuke capability? We can't just be sitting on our laurels, right?

If you by chance believed that congressional committees were helmed by elected officials who did their homework and were trying to do more than get face time on the evening news, you certainly learned this week what a farce these hearings can be. Here’s Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. testifying before the Senate Finance Committee, members of which are richly financed by the pharmaceutical companies that have made mountains of money on vaccines:If you didn’t realize before this that the CDC needs a thorough housekeeping after it mandated with no scientific basis six-feet distances, useless masks,

President Donald Trump has reached his highest approval rating ever, according to a new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll conducted between late August and early September. The poll shows a consistent upward trend for the President since early June, when it sat at 47 percent. Now, a significant number—55 percent—approve of the way Mr. Trump is performing, compared to 45 percent who disapprove. The President has never seen numbers like this previously. "This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump," said JL Partners co-founder James Johnson in a statement to the Daily Mail. This record high reflects growing popularity in the President's anti-crime, anti-illegal immigration policies.

In his Breitbart op-ed, published Friday, Wilson described accompanying Ambassador Tom Barrack and Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) on a recent trip to Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, where he said he witnessed historic opportunities for peace and stability following Assad’s ouster in December 2024. Wilson argued that the Caesar Act, enacted in 2019 to impose sanctions on Assad’s government, now hinders U.S. policy by discouraging long-term investment in Syria’s reconstruction. Speaking to Breitbart News, Wilson explained President Trump’s efforts had created “a real opportunity” to stabilize Syria and the Middle East. He compared Assad’s fall to the collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989-

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) on Saturday slammed President Trump after reports of a White House takeover of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum were published by numerous outlets. “The @Sept11Memorial belongs to the families, survivors, and first responders who’ve carried its legacy for more than two decades,” Hochul wrote in a statement on X, with a screenshot of reporting from the New York Times. “Instead of politicizing this sacred site, the President should restore 9/11 health care funding and support victims’ families,” she continued. The White House and museum did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comments.

The former Delaware senator turned vice president turned one-term president has put together a group of “former aides, friends, and political allies” to begin the extensive fundraising effort and locate a specific location, the Associated Press reported Saturday. However, as the wire service pointed out, “Biden’s library team has the daunting task of raising money for the 46th president’s legacy project at a moment when his party has become fragmented about the way ahead and many big Democratic donors have stopped writing checks.” President Donald Trump’s persistent reminders about the failures of the Biden administration also exacerbate the challenge.

We've written before about the mainstream media's penchant for seeming to manufacture alleged "feuds" between various members of the Trump administration, citing unnamed sources who have suggested, among other things, feelings of resentment between cabinet officials and among senior advisors. One of the more notable ones, which we wrote about at the time, involved Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff, United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, and a longtime close friend of President Trump. A CNN hit piece from March claimed without evidence that Rubio was miffed because he allegedly thought he was being "overshadowed" by Witkoff.

The U.S. economy added 22,000 jobs in August, the Labor Department reported Friday, as the unemployment rate edged up to 4.3 percent—figures that come amid growing questions about the reliability of the government’s closely watched monthly employment data and criticism of the Federal Reserve for holding off on cutting interest rates despite a slowdown in hiring.Economists had expected employers to add 77,000 workers to payrolls, with estimates ranging from 59,000 to 110,000, according to Econoday’s survey. They correctly forecasted unemployment would rise to 4.3 percent.

Since 2021, New Yorkers have been rightly puzzled by OnPoint NYC, the “safe injection” sites where hard-drug addicts shoot up under medical supervision. After all, drugs like fentanyl and heroin are illegal under federal law. Addicts using the service have bought their drugs illegally, and may have committed crimes to finance their habits — yet police have turned a blind eye. Now we know why OnPoint could be confident it would not face a federal crackdown: The Biden administration was actually helping finance it. This week my research found that under President Joe Biden, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration quietly awarded the program a $2 million annual grant —

A US Navy ship conducting counter-drug operations was interfered with Thursday when two Venezuelan military aircraft flew over the vessel, according to the Department of Defense. The maneuver, described by the Pentagon as “highly provocative,” comes two days after the US forces attacked a Tren de Aragua drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing 11 narco-terrorists. “Today, two Maduro regime military aircraft flew near a US Navy vessel in international waters,” the Pentagon said in a statement. “This highly provocative move was designed to interfere with our counter narco-terror operations.”

It was a busy week. President Trump didn’t talk to reporters for two days, and Democrats started a rumor that he was dead. Trump threatened to crack down on crime in Chicago, and Democrats protested. The administration terminated a group of drug traffickers with extreme prejudice, to the dismay of liberals. And there was much more. But it was Greta Thunberg–specifically, her haircut–that more than anything else, provided material for meme-makers. Here we go with this week’s collection:

During a press conference on Capitol Hill on Thursday, Ansari was asked about her use of the term "constituents" while criticizing the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. "So, I didn’t realize this was such a controversy until the right-wing media started attacking me for using the word, so I Googled the word constituent. The definition of constituent is somebody who is part of a community, doesn’t matter what their legal status is," Ansari said.
Whoever floated the ‘trans gun ban’

Was floating a ban on trans people owning guns just some basement-level idiot’s idea for “owning the libs”? In the wake of Robin Westman’s deadly Minneapolis rampage, some troll in the bowels of the Trump Justice Department reportedly proposed blocking trans people from buying firearms by declaring them all “mentally ill.” This, of course, is absurd as a simple matter of law: No rule that strips a (dubiously-defined) group of their Second Amendment rights has any chance of holding up in court. And if it did somehow survive, that’s an open invitation for future progs to create their own “mentally ill by definition” categories — deployable to limit lots of other rights.

President Trump, on August 11 signed an executive order declaring a “crime emergency” and invoking powers under section 740 of the DC Home Rule Act to federalize the police.

In a dramatic win for religious liberty, Chicago Public Schools have been ordered to pay out over $2.6 million to high school students in a class action religious freedom case. Former public school students in Chicago were required to participate in a Transcendental Meditation™ program during class.  There was no opt-out and no parental permission required. “As part of their in-school curriculum,” attorney John Mauck, partner at Mauck & Baker, explained, “the students were either required to participate in Transcendental Meditation or were deprived daily of a half hour of academic opportunity and made to maintain silence while their classmates focused their minds on secret mantras.”
